#Different Minds Talk
We invite a guest who lives or has lived inside a culture — and knows it from the inside. Not from a guidebook. From everyday life.
Mexico is the country everyone thinks they know. They don't.
You've seen the tacos and the tequila. You've heard about Day of the Dead. But the real Mexico — how people think, speak, argue, love, and say "no" without ever saying it — is something else entirely.
On July 9th, we're talking to Leticia Medina: a Mexican-born PhD researcher who grew up inside the culture and now watches it from the outside, living right on the US–Mexico border in San Antonio, Texas. That's exactly the perspective we need.
Host Alyona Alekseevskaya – a linguist, hedonist in education, founder at English Talks Club
- What "ahorita" really means — hint: it's not "right now"
- Why Mexican politeness is its own art form
- What Día de los Muertos actually says about how Mexicans see life — and death
- Why family in Mexico isn't just family. It's everything.
- What it does to your identity when you live between two cultures
- Whatever you've always wanted to ask — live, in English, with someone who grew up inside the culture
Meet Leticia
